ana which had on board large number OF
young men and women employed IN mercan-
the establishments in Boston. The first

An old resident of Dedham says there has
been no such excitement In the town since
the news was received Of the defeat of the
Army OF the Potomac under General Pope,
at the second battle of Bull Run, in July,
1868, when the religions exercises in the
several churches were dispensed with and
every person who had attended gave his or
her attention to making preparations for the
care OF the wounded, among whom were
many noble young fellows from Dedham.
At the receipt of the earliest news of the
disaster yesterday, there was a general
movement of citizens towards the Station.
and as the bad news was confirmed the num-
be r gradually increased until at one time it
was almost impossible to reach the depot.
Very few were attracted by mere curiosity
but had assembled to learn something about
relatives or friends who were passengers on
the unfortunate train. The list of killed (al-
though fortunately smalD brought mourning
into several happy homes.
